Tips for better pictures
• To avoid blurry pictures, hold your

• Stand close enough to your subject
so it fills the viewfinder but not
closer than 1.5 ft (0.5 m).
• Take pictures at the subject’s level.
Kneel down to take pictures of
children and pets.
• Hold your camera vertically to
capture tall, narrow subjects, such
as a waterfall, skyscraper, or a
single person.
15
• Add interest to your picture by
framing it with a tree branch, a
window, or even the rails of a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you. This
provides the best subject
illumination.
• Keep your hand, fingers, or objects
away from the flash and picture-
taking lens.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces
like windows or mirrors to avoid
flash reflection and bright spots in
your pictures.

FLASH MODES
Besides the auto-flash mode, which is
the default setting of the camera, you
can select flash off, fill flash, or
nightview with or without flash.
Flash off
When you do not want to use the
flash, especially indoors where flash is
prohibited or when you want to take
twilight scenes, distant subjects that
are beyond the flash range, or to
capture the ambiance of existing light,
use the flash-off feature. Attach a
tripod to the camera
TRIPOD
SOCKET
(18) or place the camera on
another firm support, and use high-
speed film to ensure the best
exposure possible for taking
pictures without flash.
19
Fill flash
When bright light indoors or outdoors
comes from behind the subject
(backlighting), dark shadows
(especially on faces) may occur. Use
fill flash to lighten these shadows.
Nightview with flash
In this mode, the camera balances the
flash and existing-light exposure so
that you can take beautiful pictures of
people at sunset or at night. Use a
tripod by attaching it to the camera
TRIPOD
SOCKET
(18) or place the
camera on another firm support, and
use high-speed film because the
shutter speed at night is typically slow.
20
Nightview without flash
In this mode, you can capture the
natural existing-light of city-night
scenes or fireworks at night. Attach a
tripod to the camera
TRIPOD
SOCKET

another firm support, and use high-
speed film because the shutter speed
at night is typically slow.
